Texas Executes 400th Convict
Last week, the state of Texas executed its 400th prisoner since 1976,
when execution was ruled constitutional. What do you think?
Jane Davidson,
Secretary
"I commend Rick Perry for having the courage to protect his constituents. Well done, Governor, and please don't kill me."
Craig Baker,
Systems Analyst
"I hope that once the prisoner was brought into the death chamber, the guards surprised him with confetti, balloons, and an oversized syringe."
Darren Pertwee,
Road Resurfacer
"I'm really conflicted about this. While I'm against the death penalty, I'm a huge sucker for milestones."
